Idea to send:	Topic Immigration Content On immigration, lets stand back and think about this another way. It is not that we do not want to be kind to immigrants or that we do not want them to have what we have, it has just exceeded our capacity to provide for them. If we invited a family from another country to be our guest and stay in our home for a few months and then they called home and invited their parents to come, and then brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, brother-in-law and so on, we simply could not provide for them. We would certainly need to fit them all in our home. We would need enough space for all of them to sleep. We would certainly want them to eat, so we would try to count our quarters and get the basic essentials from the grocery store. We would need enough bathrooms to provide for their hygiene. Enough resources to teach them our language. Schools to send their children to. Doctors and hospitals that can care for their medical needs and we decide to ask our state government to help and they gladly do so. They provide a program to let them get groceries, education, and so forth. The problem is that we ourselves are now broke. They are going to college under minority status and getting great educational opportunities that are not afforded to us. I have tried since 1995 to further my degree and cannot get help. I have been turned down for 5 scholarships to go from LPN to RN degree. Not enough funds they say for an online degree. Our hospitality has put the average Oklahoman into status of underdog. We have no more room in our house and state without affecting our own Oklahoma well-being. The immigrants must enter the U.S the right way, and not send thousands a month sneaking over our border, anymore than sneaking in our home would be justified with all of their relatives when I simply cannot afford it. .
